The Mynah Birds It's My Time / Go On And Cry V.I.P. V.I.P.-25033 (2012) The Mynah Birds were a Canadian R&B/Garage band active 1964 through to 1967.  The band is notable due to a few of its famous band members, namely Neil Young, Rick Matthews (aka Rick James) and Bruce Palmer.

Although James, Young and Palmer were gone the band still had a six month perio...

Although critically acclaimed at the time, "Arthur" sold poorly.  One US critic, Griel Marcus, stated in his review  "Less ambitious than Tommy, and far mo...
